A Parenting Style will depend on a person’s previous experiences of their own upbringing, values, beliefs, knowledge, education, age, gender and media influences. An Authoritarian parenting style involves one or both of the parents making decisions without the consultation of the children. Children have a high expectation from the parents and if the expectations are not met the children are usually punished and also the children are rarely praised or rewarded for their positive behaviour. The children may not develop the ability to make decisions and may not accept responsibility if a decision is not made. Children may also not want to discuss problems with the parents for the fear of the punishment, and the children may also rebel against this method of parenting without regard for the consequences. A Democratic parenting style lets all the family members have a say about decisions made and all family members are seen as equal, the parents that follow this style have complete trust in their children and the actions or decisions made by the children. The parents encourage their children to be independent and make decisions and also to take responsibility for the resulting effect of their actions. Rewards or punishments are talked about and negotiated with the family and if goals are set and then achieved the rewards are often received by the children. Although decisions are made within the family, conflict may occur due to one or more of the family members not getting what they wanted in the situation. This type of parenting style may not be very effective in a crisis or emergency due to people wanting to discuss what should be done without taking any immediate action.

Authoritative Parenting
There are three types of parentingstyles according to Diana Baumrind. Authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting all entail different expressions of warmth, strategies for discipline, and expectations for maturity from parents to children. Growing up I lived in a household where authoritative parenting was given to my two younger sisters and I.
Authoritative is one of the main parentingstyles. It is an approach from parents who set limits but listen to the child and are flexible. Authoritative parents listen and care about what their children have to say. Their opinions are important to them. This particular parentingstyle teaches kids to grow up independently but also place limits on children. However when children are disciplined there are punished in a fair and consistent manner. Although these types of parents place limitations on their children there are still warm and nurturing to each of their children in their own way.
The authoritative parentingstyle is sought to be the best approach to parenting. Children who are raised by authoritative parents tend to be more happy and successful throughout their lives. They generally gain good social skills and have stable control of their emotions. Authoritative parents...

Four different styles of parenting and their effects on children
The correlation between parentingstyles and child development has always interested me and therefore is the reason why I chose to write about it. A parentingstyle can be defined as a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing. During the 1960’s, psychologist Diana Baumrind conducted a study in which she used naturalistic observation, parental interviews, and other research methods to study over 100 preschool-aged children. It was from this study that she determined three different types of parenting based on two aspects of parenting behavior: control and warmth. Parental control can be described as the amount of supervision parents exercise, the decisions parents make about their children’s activities and friends, and the rules parents give to their children (Amato 1990). Amato has also characterized parental warmth as the expression of interest in children’s activities and friends, expression of praise and...

...turn out? What type of adult will he or she be? Well, parents play a vital part in determining what type of people their children group up to be, based on how they raise them. According to researchers the parentingstyles that a mother or father use will help determine their child’s current and future behavior. In this paper the researcher will examine the following: different styles of parenting, how the styles affect the behavior of children and if one style is more effective than another.
ParentingStyles
Does the Method Really Matter?
It has been determined that parentingstyles can greatly affect a child’s development (Feldman, 2008). Although, the way that a parent raises their child is not the sole determining factor in molding behavior; peers and family members also influence their behavior. If parents utilize the most effective method in child rearing, this may contribute to the child being independent, friendly and practicing self control. If the most effective child rearing method is not used, this could lead to undesirable characteristics such as; emotional problems, low self-esteem and a lack of self control (Feldman 2008).
There are four different parentingstyles and each style influences a child’s behavior in one way or another. The first style to...

...Parentingstyles, what kind are you
Parenting is defined as rearing of a child by giving special care, love, and guidance by a parent. Parenting usually starts when couples have a beautiful creation, symbolizing their mutual love and respect with each other. When a child comes into someone's life, parenting is usually a necessity when it comes to nurturing a beautiful, and a healthy child. A lot of responsibilities, sacrifices, and hard work attached to parenting. With parenting, there are different pros and cons that either help or disrupt a child’s well-being. Usually there are three parentingstyles, strict, permissive and uninvolved parenting.
The start with the strict approach to parenting, which provide children with a clear set of rules that have to be followed without question or reason. The strict parentingstyle gives children rules without explanations for those rules, and reinforces good behavior. Parents should make sure the way they parent their children will be positive, and not negatively affect their children. Strict parents have very strict rules that they expect to be followed unconditionally and have high expectations of their children. These parents are obedience and status oriented, and expects their orders to be obeyed. People with this...

...As parents know all too well, parenting can be complicated and at times there are no easy answers. As a parent, my actions, attitudes and views come together to affect my children’s mental, social and emotional development. The way in which I parent can be categorized and will most likely yield certain results within my children. Researchers have discovered links between parentingstyles and effects. In a study of preschoolers, Diana Baumrind and other researchers identified four parentingstyles through naturalistic observation, and interviews. They looked at children who had qualities most of us want in our kids: independence, maturity, self-reliance, self control, friendliness and achievement orientation. Using these desirable traits, the four styles of parenting most likely to achieve or discourage those outcomes were identified. The categories of parenting are the Authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting.
The Authoritarian parent has the “Just do it or else” attitude, the Authoritative parent has “A no means no” stance, the Permissive/Indulgent parent uses a “Do anything you want” style and lastly the uninvolved parent simply neglects their child. An Authoritarian parent is very strict and controlling. They dictate how their child should behave. They also discourage discussion and are...

ParentingStyles
There are many differing theories and opinions on the best ways to rear children, as well as differing levels of time and effort that parents are willing to invest. Many parents create their own style from a combination of factors, and these may evolve over time as the children develop their own personalities and move through life's stages. Each parentingstyle is affected by both the parents' and children's temperaments, and is largely based on the influence of one’s own parents and culture. Most parents learn parenting practices from their own parents — some they accept, some they discard. Most parents deal with their children one of 4 different styles.
Authoritarian, In this style of parenting, children are expected to follow the strict rules set by the parents. Telling their children exactly what to do, failure to follow rules usually results in punishment. Authoritarian parents fail to explain the reasoning behind these rules. If asked to explain, the parent might simply reply, "Because I said so." These parents have high demands, but are not responsive to their children.
Then there is authoritative parenting which is similar to authoritarian parents, those with an authoritative...

SchoolParenting Styles: East or West?
Parenthood is a privilege but is also a great responsibility. Parents wish there was a manual that came along with children when they were born; however, that is not the case and parents can only do their best in different situations. How parents act in child rearing is called parentingstyles, and geographically speaking there is a wide variety of styles practiced. The most controversial styles are the ones adopted by the eastern and the western cultures in the world. While eastern parents are stricter and demanding, western parents are more flexible, nurturing, and more tolerant. Amy Chua’s article “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” and Hanna Rosin’s counter-article “Mother Inferior” explore three basic concepts that make the difference between Chinese and Western parental approaches: children’s self-esteem, children’s appreciation, and children’s interest.
Amy Chua states that the first difference she notices between these two parentingstyles is that Western parents care a lot about their children’s self-esteem and psyches, while Chinese parents don’t. She explains that Western parents worry too much about their children’s feelings; hence they are always trying to comfort them. She also points that Chinese parents, on the other hand, demand perfection through...

...The Differences Type of ParentingStylesParenting is defined as a complex activity that includes much specific behaviour that work individually and together to influence child outcomes. How parents impact child development? Specific parenting behaviours, such as spanking or reading aloud, may influence child development. Most researchers who attempt to describe this broad parental milieu rely on Diana Baumrind’s concept ofparentingstyle. The construct of parentingstyle is used to capture normal variations in parents’ attempts to control and socialize their children (Baumrind, 1991). Sometime parents are fear that they are parenting the wrong way raising up their children, and that their style of parenting may have negative effects on their children. According to Solomon B, "Making mistakes is not bad parenting. Like anything else, it's a way to grow and learn." Therefore, each parents practices different types of parentingstyles: authoritarian, authoritative, and uninvolved.
The first parentingstyles is authoritarian, Authoritarian parents are highly demanding and directive but not responsive. In this type of parenting, they are often seems to be strict, controlling type of parents. Children are expected to...
